Because I am going to make my own deck I wil make the enclosure as well so it will hopefully perfectly fit. For the deck I was planning on using 4 pieces of plywood, and in the bottom two I wanted to make a hole for the battery and esc, would this be strong enough? The plywood is 3mm thick.
So do you guys think that this is enough for my needs(I’m 65kg btw). Would the deck be strong enough or should I use something like carbon fiber to strengthen it?
It depends on the cells, that particular 10s5p uses LG MF1 cells.
It’s a cheap low capacity cell.
You would need a crazy efficient drivetrain to reach 36km with that battery. At some point during the ride, the voltage sag will be too much and you will barely move.
Okay so here’s some questions and opinions that came to mind:
In which country do you live?
What is your absolute spending limit for now, will you get more funds in future?
What is the benefit of laminating your own deck from plywood? It’s incredibly hard to do without cracks that didn’t get enough pressure/glue, when you don’t have a proper Skate deck press.
If the benefit is cost reduction, I’m sure there are acceptable vanilla flavoured decks on ebay for 40$
If you want to stay cheap, go for single drive
Scavange the forum for used parts
Don’t buy crap from diyeboard because it’s cheap. When you want to go 36km on your board (which is very doable) then you need reliable parts.
get 10s4p Samsung 30q and you’re golden on the range.
if you need a cheap Vesc based ESC, get the hobbyking sk8 one
I live in the netherlands, my budget right now is around €450(will become more, but right now this is it) and I wanted to make my own board but if its hard to do I might get a cheap deck somewhere else. Where could i get those batteries?
I know this is props not what you want to hear but the lowest threshold to building a quality board is around 700€. I think below that you might be better off just buying one of the regular ready made china boards.
So I should get another esc, I will probably get a battery from @pjotr47 if he still can. Is there really a lot of difference between remotes, if so I think I will get the one from alien power. And I will probably upgrade the wheels later.
